FREEMAN COMPANY pub/ic/sts - 2 success with his entertainment productions has upset the old theory that the American chorus girl has to dash madly around the stage in intricate dance routines that make her too tired to even smile onstage, or that the American chorus girl has to practically be a strip teaser on stage to make the audience appreciate her. Entratter'a success with his productions at the Mew York Copacabana, from 19lj.O to 1952, and his success in Las Vegas in launching the Sands Hotel with a tremen- dous entertainment splash, was responsible for the famous showman Lee Schubert giving Entratter exclusive rights to produce THE ORIGINAL ZIEGFELD FOLLIES. This was Schubert?╟╓s last business transaction before he died in 1953# end he closed the deal saying he had been looking for 20 years for an American producer worthy of carrying on the name of Zlegfeld, and at last he had found that man in Entratter. The "new Ziegfeld** has put on nightclub shows seen by Ij.,992,000 people in his nightclub rooms since I9I4-O?╟≤ He has signed more payroll checks for top business stars , featured acts and musicians than any other American nightclub producer - more than 16,155 checks to some lj.,315 chorus girls, 3#290 musicians, 1,5^5 featured acts, and 127 top acts! Entratter has purchased f^T^Sore tharT'f 9,1114. ,000 worth of talent for his nightclub presentations, and he spends each week, nearly #55*000 for live entertainment for his shows at the Sands Hotel and his television productions in Hollywood. Entratter?╟╓s standing as the new top show business producer in America today is proven by the roster of stars he has lined up to appear at the Sands Hotel for the next three years - even though they could have contracted for more money at other Las Vegas hotels. His relationship and his reputation in show business is responsible for the Sands being assured of l|.9 weeks each year for the next three years featuring Danny Thomas, Frank Sinatra, Tallulah Bankhead, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, Lena Horne, Mat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Robert Merrill, Peter Lind Hayes and Mary Healy, Ezio Pinza, Peggy Lee, Van Johnson, and Rosemary Clooney. His relationship with top stars in America today is Mr. Entratter?╟╓s biggest asset in his ability to sign them away from competitors for his own productions. * more - 9 508 WILSHIRE BLVD. ?╟≤ BEVERLY HILLS, CAL. ?╟≤ BRADSHAW 2-86 11
